Military Children

I"m stuck in a situation thats rather lonely. My dad works two time intensive jobs. Plus his times at the clinic in three different military bases. My step mom is always glued to her computer screen and only looks away to tell me and my siblings to do something or to tell us we are doing it all wrong.
I have lots of problems with keeping good friendships because I move all the time. I don't have a lasting relationship with any of my siblings because we just don't see eye to eye.
I'd just like to know if anyone out there is in a similar situation. I find it easier to talk to people who understand where I'm coming from.

I don't neccessarily know where you're coming from by being a military child, because my parents got out before I was born, but I can relate to not being able to keep many friends and not having a lasting relationship with my siblings. Mine's more from a medical prespective....if you follow me. I'm willing to listen to your situation further though if you wish to share:)

i know how who feel about alway moving, but i've found that even though you might not see them physically anymore you can still write to your friends and text them and also see if you can find an activity that all of your sibilings and you like to do .
